Puppy class has been a huge help for us. We've learned about how to limit biting (put her in timeout), show dominance with some holds, and general interaction tips.
Emily has grown so much since we got her. I can see a difference in her size from week to week. Here's a pic from four 1/2 weeks ago next to a pic from today.
There have been a few play dates with dogs and it's fun to watch Emily's confidence grow. The first play date was traumatic for her...she got flipped over a couple of times and then hid out. After about an hour, though, she started warming up to Nika, a yellow lab mix.
And we've had two interactions with Lucy now (see link to "The Brookses" and also picture at right) for more about Lucy and her minions, Steve and Jenny. In fact, the picture above show Emily sleeping as she's exhausted from hanging today with Lucy. Here are more pics of the dogs playing together.
As you can see, the dogs like to chase each other and also eat plants together.Some of the pictures look vicious...
But really, the dogs are just playing and we hope they become good friends with lots of interactions.
